Nonintrusive Data Protection
Eliminate backup impact on applications by removing the server from the data path and minimizing the traditional backup window. Unlike a traditional backup, ProtectPoint only pauses the application to mark the point in time for an application-consistent backup, after which the application can quickly return to normal operations.

Since data is sent directly from primary storage to protection storage, there is virtually no backup impact on the application. ProtectPoint provides the performance of snapshots and the functionality of backups.

By leveraging primary storage change block-tracking technology, only unique blocks are sent from primary storage, but are stored as full backups on a Data Domain system. This makes application recovery faster and more efficient by providing full backups in the time of an incremental backup. In addition, with ProtectPoint, application owners can instantly access their backups stored on a Data Domain system for simplified, granular recovery.

Application Owner Control
ProtectPoint gives application owners and database administrators for Oracle, Microsoft SQL and Exchange, SAP, and IBM DB2, complete control of their own backup and recovery directly from their native application utilities. This empowers application owners by giving them the control they want without additional cost and complexity.

Simple and Efficient
ProtectPoint eliminates the complexity of traditional backup and introduces unparalleled efficiency by minimizing infrastructure requirements. It eliminates backup impact on the local area network (LAN) and minimizes storage area network (SAN) bandwidth requirements by sending only unique data from primary storage to protection storage.

By protecting all data on a Data Domain system, ProtectPoint reduces backup storage requirements by 10 to 30 times.

Reliable Protection
Since ProtectPoint backs up data to a Data Domain system, it's protected with the Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture that provides the industry's best defense against data integrity issues. Inline write-and-read verification, continuous fault detection, and self-healing ensure that backup data is accurately stored, retained, and recoverable throughout its lifecycle on a Data Domain system.
